I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (New York, NY) in Oct 2016
Interview
Applied online, which was a pretty arduous process including 3 mini essay prompts and 2 timed exams. A week later received notification for a 1st round phone interview. With a subsequent superday email sent the same day to take place at the end of the week.
